How did you shutdown the database? Fast? Immediate mode acts just as it
does on an unpatched server.

Can you give more details of exactly what you did? Thanks. Not saying
there isn't a problem, just don't understand what happened.

Not being able to connect after a restart is a design feature, to
protect you from running potentially invalid queries.
